Ohio boaters pulled from lake

By Mark Ribble KINGSVVILLE — Two Ohio men are in hospital and another is counting his lucky stars after a harrowing night on Lake Erie on Labour Day weekend. What started out as a cruise from Put-In-Bay to Vermillion, Ohio, ended near the shores of Kingsville. The trio’s boat ran into trouble as the storms came up late Sunday night into Monday morning, and the waves carried the 32-foot pleasure craft all the way to Canadian waters, partially capsizing it in the process. The boaters had no idea they were in Canada. With the U.S. Coast Guard unable to locate the trio, a GPS signal was picked up on this side of the lake and Kingsville Fire Department sent their rescue boat out into heavy waves. According to Kingsville Fire Chief Chuck Parsons, their marine rescue boat capsized as well, and two Kingsville firefighters had to be treated at hospital for minor injuries. “Thankfully, our guys were wearing PFDs and emergent suits,” said Parsons.

Two of the three Americans were eventually brought to shore by the waves and plucked from the rocks by Kingsville Fire personnel, with the third being picked up in the water. The condition of the two hospitalized

boaters was not available at press time. The heavily-listing boat was still bobbing against the rocky shoreline near Kingsville Harbour on Monday afternoon. Plans were underway to retrieve it and get it back to the United States.

LEAMINGTON — Family Feud Canada will return for a second season this fall and one Leamington family is hoping to make it all the way to the show. With 104 episodes on tap for this second season, CBC is currently looking

over all of the applications. One such application is from Leamington’s DeGoey family. The six children of the late Tony and Denise DeGoey have taken all of the necessary steps to be Canada’s next fa-

vourite Feud family. Jerry DeGoey is the oldest brother, and his siblings include Brenda Belleau, Rosemary Cobby, Deborah DeGoey-Zsebok, Monique Hall and Tony DeGoey Jr. “Our parents would have been ecstatic to see all of their kids working together on a game show like this, on live television no less,” said Monique. Tony Senior and Denise were long-time fans of Family Feud, watching regularly from their living room. “We watched it all the time when we were kids as we only got a few stations living out in the country,” says Monique. “It brings back a lot of fond childhood memories, and it was a fun break from picking tomatoes!” They sent in their application a few weeks ago and got a call from CBC recently, asking for an audition video. That’s when the brainstorming began. “We wanted to find a fun way to present our family,” said Monique. After some ideas thrown back and forth, Monique made the trip from her home in Cambridge to join her siblings in Leamington for a weekend of fun and creativity. What they produced was a song, co-written by all six siblings, to the tune of the Brady Bunch theme. Of course, the tune is called The Degoey Bunch. They sing about growing up in Leamington, wearing wooden shoes and picking tomatoes. The catchy video was then submitted to CBC’s Family Feud Canada and now the waiting begins.

Leamington clarifies mask by-law by passing amendment LEAMINGTON — Leamington Council further clarified their recent mandatory mask by-law at their council meeting of August 25. The by-law was discussed and passed at the meeting of August 11, requiring people to wear a mask in municpal public spaces throughout the municipality. Leamington’s Legal Services Director Ruth Orton, clarified the by-law to answer some questions which arose after the by-law was passed. A motion was put forth to make changes to the by-law to include specific information. According to the by-law, the definition of a mask does not include a shield. Masks are to be worn in places such as libraries, municipal buildings, transit and recreation centres. Masks are not required outdoors, where social distancing can be easily attained.

Anyone over the age of two years old is required to wear the mask, unless medical reasons prevent them from doing so. Councillor Tim Wilkinson questioned the age requirement, saying that it’s difficult to get a two-year-old to do anything, let alone wear a mask in a store. Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke suggested that Leamington align with other municpailties in the county and make sure that the minimum age is the same. It was detemrined that signage was already made with the two-year-old age and it would be difficult to go back to the drawing board at this point. After a brief discussion, council voted to pass the amendment by a vote of 4-2. Verbeke and Bill Dunn voted against the motion.

Leamington Arts Centre

Annual WFCU Painting Competition draws 73 entries By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — The COVID-19 pandemic may have put a damper on the usual reception night for the annual WFCU Painting Competition at the Leamington Arts Centre, but it did not dampen the enthusiasm for the 31 artists, who submitted 73 pieces to be judged. The exhibit usually attracts about 60 pieces of art, so the gallery floor was opened up to accommodate as many pieces as possible. “It’s nice to see that COVID has not affected the spirit and participation of the artists, “said Arts Centre Director and Curator, Chad Riley. Riley was apprehensive, not knowing how many entries he’d see come in, but was very happy with the response. WFCU Credit Union sponsored the show, and their Manager of Community Investment Beth Ann Prince, said , “As a leader in the community, our goal is to inspire — to provide engaging, entertaining and educational opportunities for people to come together. Supporting initiatives such as the Leamington Arts Centre’s painting competition allows us to do this, despite the new realities COVID-19 has brought to our community. Though the competition and awards may be presented differently this year, the incredible response by the 31 artists who contributed 73 submissions to this year’s competition is a testament to the ability and influence of the arts to continually encourage creativity, enjoy-

ment and togetherness even in times of uncertainty. Those 31 artists represented 12 communities from across the region, including five from Leamington, two from Kingsville and one from Wheatley. The $500 first prize went to Jeff Snauwaert for his work, ‘Semond’. Second place and a $400 prize went to ‘COVID Lineup’ by Dennis Smith. In third place, winning $300 for Semond by Jeff Snaurwaert. her effort, was Kathryn Price for her piece entitled ‘Sticks and Stones’. ‘Wanda’s Crystal Bottle’ by Neil Peter Olsen, garnered an honourable mention. The artwork for this show will be displayed across three galleries in the Arts Centre until Sept. 27. The public is invited to visit the Arts Centre Wednesday through Friday from 10-5 and from 11-5 on Saturdays and Sundays. Social distancing, mask wearing and COVID-19 protocols are in place.

SECC resumes restricted services

LEAMINGTON – South Essex Community Council (SECC) has been providing safe, reliable, affordable and accessible transportation for more than 30 years and COVID-19 has not changed that. With the recent announcement that Windsor-Essex is able to advance into Ontario’s Stage 3 re-opening plan, SECC is fully prepared to meet an increased demand for services and will do it in a way that is safe for drivers and for riders. Vehicles were always thoroughly cleaned on a daily basis before the pandemic, but cleaning and disinfection have been increased to include the sanitization of all common touch surfaces including door handles, seat belts and wheelchair safety restraints after riders leave the vehicle and before proceeding to the next pick up. A thorough cleaning and sanitization is still completed at the end of every day, including the use of a new disinfectant fogging machine to get into every corner and reach all surfaces. “SECC is committed to the safety and well-being of its clients, staff and volunteers,” says Mark Wybenga, Department Coordinator of Community Services. Drivers have been equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE) including facemasks, face shields and gloves, and everyone has received training in the proper use of PPE. Seating has been arranged to reduce the total number of passengers in a vehicle at any one time and allow for physical distancing in each vehicle. The maximum number of seats on buses is four and vans will transport only one person at a time. Riders will be screened over the phone and on the day of service. Riders will be asked to sanitize their hands upon boarding the bus and to wear a facemask if able to do so. Masks will be provided for those who do not have one. Wybenga states that, “We are confident that the steps we have taken will continue to ensure the safest means of accessible public transportation for the residents of Leamington, Kingsville and Wheatley. We are looking forward to welcoming previous clients and new riders in need of transportation around the community.” If you or a loved one is in need of safe transportation to appointments or shopping, call SECC at (519) 3268629 for more information, and to book a ride. Transportation is available Monday through Friday with local service five days per week and rides to Windsor and other regions in Essex County on select days.

VIEW OF THE TIP FROM THE TOP As Roger Daltry once sang, “I can see for miles and miles,” that would best describe the view from Point Pelee National Park’s tower at the tip. The tower, which encountered some issues last summer, has opened to the public recently, with a bird’s eye view of Lake Erie and Point Pelee’s famous tip. The structure stands some 25 metres high and is located near the tip parking lot. The tower cost the federal government about $1.5 million to erect. Sun photo

A different kind of fall

As the days get shorter and the mornings get cooler, we usher in my favourite time of year. Most years, that’s the case. Normally I’d be looking forward to the start of hockey season but instead I’m still stinging from the Leafs early exit from the playoff bubble. By now I would have gone out fishing a few times, shot a couple rounds of golf and attended a ball game or two. My slo-pitch wrap up would’ve been this coming weekend. I’d be looking forward to my annual November hunting trip and getting excited about Halloween. And I’d be excited about the start of school for the grandkids. Well, 2020 is certainly a different year. And here’s the kicker — it’s only about three quarters finished. When rumblings of COVID began in February, nobody here could have imagined that we’d be missing out on so many things and apprehensive about others. I certainly thought it would be well behind us by now. As the school buses pull out of the yard this week, I’m sure many parents, teachers and bus drivers are wondering

the curve was flattened early and prevented a disaster of epic proportions. Now it’s up to us to not get careless and let this thing get another stranglehold on our lives. Sure there are those who believe the media is trying to scare people but as part of the media, I can say that’s the farthest from being accurate. Are there media outlets who sensationalize the virus and all other bad things? Sure there are, but I doubt that anyone with any ounce of credibility would lie to the public about these things. As we move forward, can we at least be thankful that this area has done reasonably well with casualties and happy that we’re all in relatively good health? And as I watch the NHL playoffs play out, the longing for fall returns, at least for a fleeting moment. Happy September, folks.

Kingsville welcomes new CAO KINGSVILLE — The Town of Kingsville has welcomed John Norton as Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), who started yesterday, September 8. Norton’s most recent tenure was at the Township of Georgian Bluffs as its Chief Administrative Officer. Previously, he worked at the Municipality of Chatham-Kent, holding a number of positions over the course of nine years, most recently as General Manager of Community Development where he had responsibility for economic development and long-term community planning, among other responsibilities. Norton placed an emphasis in Chatham-Kent on developing a growth strategy for that community. He worked this year with a community-led task force on the economic response to the COVID crisis. He brings experience in fostering an environment in which businesses and residents can thrive.

“We’re excited to have John join our municipality as CAO,” said Kingsville Mayor, Nelson Santos. “He’s a proven leader with a wealth of experience who, alongside Council and staff, will help bring the vision, goals and objectives of our community to fruition.” As CAO, Norton will be the town’s senior administrator responsible directly to Council for ensuring effective dayto-day management of the municipality, while creating a collaborative team environment by engaging with both staff, Council, residents and businesses. “Kingsville is such an exciting place to live and work,” he said.. “I am looking forward to living in the community and working closely with Mayor Santos, Council and the employees in Kingsville.” Before entering public service, he worked in a private law practice with a focus on municipal law.

Buskids.ca provides guidelines for safe school transportation Editor’s note: The WESTS consortium that provides busing for students in Windsor and Essex County, provided this back-to-school safety guideline on their website buskids.ca. The following guidelines are provided to ensure the safe transportation of students on school buses for home to school and return transportation. The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit has provided consultation and specific guidance in preparing these guidelines. Load Counts The Ministry of Education, Guide to Reopening Schools states, “school boards may be required to increase the utilization of buses beyond one student per seat and operate closer to capacity”. In order to ensure that as many eligible students as possible can be transported to school we will be utilizing a maximum capacity of 48 students per bus. Loading and Unloading Students Where possible students will load from back to front when being picked up and unload from front to back when being dropped off. This will limit close contact between students on the bus. Students are encouraged to walk to their seat without touching seats as they pass as much as possible. Assigned seating plans will be developed and students must sit only in their assigned seats. Students will be paired with a member from the same household or in the same classroom cohort only should they be seated together. Students must follow the instructions given to them from the bus driver and remain in the seat assigned to them. Students may not change seats at any time during the bus trip. Bus Stops The parent/ guardian is responsible for the student until the student gets on the bus. It is recommended that all students and parents maintain a 2-metre physical distance while waiting at the bus stop. Parents and students from Grade 4 to 12 are required to wear a non-medical or cloth mask when waiting in line at File photo from buskids.ca the bus stop and at all times while riding the bus. Any student that fails to comply will risk losing their transportation privilege. It is highly recommended that students in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 3 wear masks given the potential for close contact on the bus. Any student that cannot wear a mask due to a medical or special need that prevents masking must contact their school to get an exemption. Students should be reminded to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water for 20 seconds before they leave for the bus top or use an Alcohol Based Hand Rub (hand sanitizer) just before boarding the bus. Students must follow the direction of the driver when boarding the bus and maintain a two-metre distance when boarding and taking their seat on the bus. Students should avoid touching the bus seats as they pass. Students who have symptoms associated with COVID-19 or think they have been exposed to COVID-19 will not be allowed to take transportation. Parents must screen their child for any symptoms prior to sending them to board the bus. If a child is displaying symptoms such as coughing, fever or other obvious signs of an illness, they will not be allowed to board the bus. The bus driver will inform the parent/guardian, if

they are with the child, that the child cannot ride. If there is no parent/guardian, with the child, the driver will contact dispatch to advise the family that the child cannot be transported. If a child gets sick at school or exhibit symptoms, they will not be transported on the bus after school. On Bus Protocol Students will follow the direction of the driver with respect to their seat assignments. Students will sit face forward with legs down and their arms in the seat. They will not touch the seat in front of them or another child on the bus. Students must not put their arms out the windows, throw object or eat on the bus. Bus operators will be encouraged to use physical or visual cues on the bus to reinforce health and safety measures. Special Needs Transportation Protocols for special needs transportation will include the above as well as any further PPE that is required for protection of the driver if they are in close

contact with the student. Parents that board the bus to secure equipment on their child must wear a face mask in order to board the bus. Student transportation will work in concert with the boards’ special needs staff to ensure that any individual student plans are implemented to safely transport the student.

Reopening schools safely matters to everyone That’s why the government of Ontario has worked with health officials, school boards and educators to develop a comprehensive plan to keep kids and staff safe. • Physical distancing measures will be implemented such as desk separation, signs, floor markings and one-way hallways. • Face coverings will be required for staff and students in Grades 4-12. • Hand hygiene will be enabled with hand sanitizer and hand washing. • More nurses will be in schools. • School cleaning will be enhanced.

Some of Red Sun Farms new sustainable packaging.

Red Sun Farms develops new recyclable packaging KINGSVILLE- Red Sun Farms of Kingsville has locations across Canada, Mexico, and the US, focusing on cultivating cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes. Red Sun Farms has been an industry leader in sustainable agriculture, closely working with packaging suppliers to develop new and sustainable options. Environmental impact and sustainability are important factors at Red Sun, from the growing process to packaging, shipping and finally, to the customer. For over six years, Red Sun Farms has been developing recyclable packaging, including peppers packaged in a Polypropylene (PP) flow wrap which, is a recyclable material if the labels are removed. Red Sun’s snacking tomatoes are packaged in plastic bowls and clamshells that range between 60-90% recyclable content. Six years ago, Red Sun was the first to launch their 10 oz organic grape tomatoes packaged in a fiber pint, which is a recyclable/compostable option that reduces plastic use by over 90%. This package captured an innovation award in Berlin, in 2019 and is quickly

achieving success across the globe. To date this has avoided the equivalent of 7.5 million units of plastic on this variety – the same weight at 20 elephants. Last year, Red Sun announced they were transitioning their Organic Peppers, TOV’s and Cucumbers with a backyard compostable PLU label. This option allows for landfills to be avoided and encourages consumers to compost the pepper stem and PLU in their backyard composters. Red Sun Farms is now introducing its newest sustainable solution – SustainLabel!® from Yerecic. This new technology developed by Yerecic includes washaway technology and has passed Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) Critical Guidance testing. “By separating cleanly from PET flake and floating during the recycling wash process, SustainLabel!® constructions positively contribute to the recycling stream by increasing the availability of food grade rPET. Yerecic Label also utilizes 100% recycled content cores for all label rolls and a targeted 70% PCR in corrugated”, said Elizabeth Yerecic of Yerecic labels. Themedium change also created the perfect opportunity for a brand refresh across Red Sun’s entire portfolio of packaging. “The investment of this new technology demonstrates our continued commitment to delivering sustainable solutions to our customer, while improving our product visibility & transparency” states Carlos Visconti, CEO of Red Sun Farms USA & Canada Operations. “Our graphic refresh places the produce at the center of our design.”

WHEATLEY — After about 30 hours of restoration work, this hand-painted mural now graces the outer western wall of the OG Pizza building in Wheatley. Originally painted by artist Harold Burton and his daughter, Katherine Burton-Urban, the mural hung in another location in Wheatley until recently. Katherine spent time this spring restoring and touching up the original. The Wheatley BIA commissioned the original painting and was instrumental in making the restoration happen. Plans are in the works for a parkette in the empty lot between OG Pizza and Dollar Haven. This will provide a spot for locals and visitors to enjoy the small town atmosphere. Here, Katherine Burton-Urban poses beside the finished work. Sun photo

In Loving Memory of

DEWANE TETZLAFF September 9, 2019

A year has passed the memories we hold to our hearts until we meet again Deeply missed by Peggy Alan and Sue, Dale and Lynda, Doug and Angela, and Grandchildren

God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you And whispered “Come to Me.” You suffered much in silence Your spirit did not bend, You faced your pain with courage, Right to the very end. You tried so hard to stay with us, Your fight was all in vain; God took you in His loving arms, And freed you from your pain. Our hearts all ache with sadness Our silent tears still flow For what it meant to lose you, No one will ever know,

Love, Mary-Maureen and Jay

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Remember to be careful what you say about others, Aries. If you’re talking about someone who isn’t in the vicinity, act as if he or she is there so you always remain respectful. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You might need some time alone this week to get yourself centered, Taurus. This is especially true if you have been running yourself ragged and are feeling stressed out. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, do not try to fit into some mold that doesn’t represent who you truly are. There’s only one person you need to please, and that is yourself. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Issues around you may be a bit heavy, Cancer. Your role is to lighten up the situation with humor and amusement. Your powers of adaptability will be put to the test. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if one door will not open for you, don’t force it. Simply try another door. Accept that some things are not meant to be and it is time to move on. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your approach to things may get some push back from others. Don’t let that stop you from being independent and forging your own path.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, the old ways of doing things may butt heads with the new, leaving you scratching your head. Go with

your gut instinct on this situation this week. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Unexpected events can shuffle things when you least expect it, Scorpio. Don’t be discouraged; learn how to go with the flow and you can come out on top. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your confidence may wane a bit this week. All you need is a pep talk from someone to get you out of a funk. Listen to what this person has to say. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Aiming for the latest and greatest may not be the best idea, Capricorn. Material possessions bring you entertainment, but strive for other, more grounding goals. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Make sure you are nourishing your whole self in the days to come, Aquarius. This means being in tune with physical and mental well-being. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 A nervous restlessness may urge you to act this week, Pisces. You could be excited about something that you just can’t pinpoint right now.

Mauraders Win Sr. title

By C. Scott Holland The Senior Cinderella division title of Leamington Minor Baseball was a hotly contested one in 1991 with the two teams vying for the crown putting up a total of 21 runs. The Fox Ready Mix Marauders doubled the Featherstone Realty Renegades 14-7. The Featherstone crew’s bats just couldn’t keep up with the run production shown by the Fox crew. Stephanie Wilding slugged two home runs for Featherstone while Michelle Martin knocked a homer, two doubles and a single. Kerrie Martin and Angela Featherstone bashed triples. Kelly McLellan ripped a single and double, as did Lindsay McFarland. Other singles came from the bats of Joumana Saad, Kerri Gow, Heather Dunford, and Angela Quenneville. The Fox Ready Mix team was led by Paula Biletti , who just missed hitting for the cycle with a homer, a triple and double. Pam Crerar belted a triple and single while Dawn Derbyshire and Laurie Tatomir cracked two singles each. The hit parade continued for Fox as Josephine Biletti cracked a double and single while Susan Baker collected four safeties. Joining in on the hitting spree were Trisha Frayne, Kim Woelk, Bev Bernabe and Jennifer Allison who all clubbed singles.

The 1991 Cinderella division champions for Leamington Minor Baseball were the Fox Ready Mix Marauders. Back row are coach Bill Frayne, Jo Biletti, Kim Woelk, Susan Baker, Pamela Crerar, Trisha Frayne, and Sharon Abbas. Front row are Dawn Derbyshire, Laurie Tatomir, Bev Bernabe, Kelly Hopper, and Paula Biletti. Absent: Jennifer Allison.

This week’s sports flashbacks are from 1989 This week’s featured sports flashbacks go all the way back to September 5, 1989. LIONS PREPARE FOR FOOTBALL SEASON After a seven year hiatus, the Leamington District Secondary School Lions will field a football team. Under the tutelage of head coach Greg Wood, defensive co-ordinator Doug Lewis and defensive back coach, Graham Murray, the Lions have about 50 students out for early scrimmages. Wood is a former defensive halfback with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Toronto Argonauts. The Lions will host Shawnee in their home opener on September 15. LADIES 18-HOLE PLAYOFF The Erie Shores Ladies Golf League held their playdowns on the last weekend of August, with Ruth Pike taking the championship over Eileen Johnston and Maxene Otton. In the B Flight,

a sudden-death playoff ensued, with Marianne Neufeld taking first place over Edie Newland and Bev Dennis. In the C Flight, Mary Vlodarchyk bested Joyce Nicol, Edith Mee and Gladys Fisher. A-TEAM, C&S ADVANCE IN MEN’S LOOP The A-Team swept both games from Omsteads to take their first round playoff series in the Wednesday Night Lobball League, while C&S Trucking did the same to Climate Control Systems. A-Team’s 8-0 game one win was paced by Richard Symes and Paul Smyth. In game two, A-Team won 16-0 with help from Bob Willms, Paul Smyth and Tim Little. C&S trimmed Climate Control 2-0 in game one, with their stars being Bill Howe and Leigh Comartin. In game two, C&S won 4-2, led by Comartin and Kevin Leslie. Climate Control got strong games from Jerry Martin

and John Vanderbeek. TYKES 1-2 AT OBA TOURNEY The Leamington P-459 Tykes bowed out of the annual Ontario Baseball Association tournament in Hamilton on Labour Day weekend, with one win and two losses. Leamington opened up with a 7-4 loss to Sudbury but rebounded with a 17-4 beating of Belleville. With their 9-2 defeat at the hands of Milton, Leamington was eliminated in the double-knockout format. David Neufeld took the loss in game one, with Pat Michaud getting the win on the mound in game two. Game three starter Neil Friesen got shellacked for seven runs in two innings against Milton and was replaced by Neufeld. Offensively, the locals were led by Neufeld, Ryan Rivest, Kyle Gabriele and Ben Wiper. HARNESS RECORDS FALL About 1100 fans attended Friday night’s racing program at Leaming-

ton Raceway as the 1989 seaosn winds down. In the annual Jack and Marion McIntosh Pace, W.N. Dee went gate-towire in 1:58.4 to set a new track record for aged horses. In the Purina Feeds Invitational Trot, four-year-old Jantilly Emma won in 2:02.3 for a new track record for aged mare trotters. PEARCE FORCES DECIDING GAME Pearce Trucking Fastball team of Blytheswood fought off elimination with a 4-3 win over Morpeth in a Chatham Industrial Fastball League series. Pearce took a 1-0 lead on Jjim Schmidt’s double and Jim Tiessen’s RBI single in the first, but Morpeth scored twice in the bottom half to take a 2-1 lead. The locals took the lead back on the strength of Bill Driedger’s two run triple in the third. Tiessen and Pete Driedger combined on the mound for Blytheswood for the win

Leamington woman wins $100,000

John Stein sits at the controls of his 1987 Ultralight aircraft. from the Scott Holland collection

Leamington Flying Club and the Ultralight

By C. Scott Holland Not everyone can turn a hobby into a business but back in 1987, John Stein did just that. He was one of four men who resurrected the Leamington Flying Club. The four men owned an ultralight plane and Stein was selling kits to make the planes. His love of flying began in 1969 with a small Aeronica Champ, then a Piper Tripacer and a Cessina 150 before his love of ultralight airplanes started. “I trained on a four-seater Cherokee at the Windsor Flying Club,” he stated. However, after flying an Ultralight, he convinced Edgar Dyck, Neil Klassen and Guy Macher to help him reform the local club. Conventual flying lessons then ran about $3,000 and the costs of planes were at least $40,000 certainly an expensive hobby. But with the ultralight, lessons ran about $600 and the cost for a kit

to build your own was 3upwards of $10,000. In order to teach and charge money, he had to take a commercial rating course at Guelph. In 1987, he had been teaching for one and a half years and had 10 students who were ready to write their Department of Transportation tests so they could acquire their licenses. Stein noted that the Ultralight is slower but only needs 150 feet of runway as compared to 1,000 for a regular airplane. “It’s like a hang-glider with a motor and an enclosed seat area.” Its engine is a modified skidoo motor which uses a five US gallon tank. Fuel consumption is about two gallons per hour and three men can lift an ultralight. Assem-

bling the kit takes about 60 hours. Another benefit was that unlike regular airplanes , “you can make your own repairs and when you do you can add a bit ore time as opposed to a certified ,mechanic checking your craft.” Canada has its own regulations for ultralights and the Ultralight Pilots Association of Canada (UPAC) is a self-governing body that works closely with government to form policies regarding the aircraft. Besides landing on the ground, some models allow landing on snow or water. Despite the plane’s slowness while in flight, Stein conceded that the thrill of fling is very much evident.

TORONTO — Saying “yes” to ENCORE paid off for Tracy Schmidt of Leamington. Tracy matched the last six of seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the August 15, 2020 LOTTO 6/49 draw to win $100,000. Tracy, a 39-year-old mother of two, discovered her win when she received an email from OLG on her son’s 10th birthday! “I went to my computer and when I saw the prize amount, I thought OMG,” she shared, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her cheque. “I screamed for my husband to get down here – he came running down the stairs saying, ‘No way, no way!’” The food service worker plans to pay bills and hopes to travel when possible. “This feels amazing. I’ve been so excited these past few days I feel like I could swing from the rafters,” she joked.

OLG is now accepting in-person prize claims by-appointment only for customers with prizes of $1,000 or more who wish to claim at the OLG Prize Centre. To best protect customers and staff, OLG has put in place appropriate health and safety protocols in accordance with guidelines from public health officials, which include physical distancing measures, the mandatory use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the

pre-screening of visitors before granting entry. Players should contact the OLG Support Centre at 1-800-387-0098 to discuss available prize claim options or to schedule an appointment. ENCORE offers 22 ways to win and can be played in conjunction with most lottery games for an extra $1. There is an ENCORE draw every day. The winning ticket was purchased on PlayOLG. ca.

Talbot Trail seniors attract 67 golfers By Bob McLean On September 1, there were 67 league members who challenged their golfing skills. For the third time this golfing season we’ve had the closest to the pin winner ending up a mere one foot from the hole. Tom Hyatt’s miraculous shot gave him the CP and an easy birdie on #9. Dave La Bonte drained a marvelous 21 footer to win the LP. In the 80-85y division Joe Vrtel earned

an excellent 44 to nip Vic Reynaert’s terrific 46. Walter Balsam, Conrad Babkirk and Ed Woelk all played superbly to finish at 51’s. Andy, Ken and Bill played well! In the Super Seniors, Tom Hyatt’s outstanding 46 edged Bob Freure’s brilliant 47. Our Gold SS had Carl Robinson’s masterful 44 nipping Dave la Bonte excellent 45. Gerry Becigneul scored a very gratifying 47. Scotty got a superb nifty fifty. Erle achieved a commendable 54.

In the under 70 division, Tom Dunn’s terrific play earned him a 37. Both Randy Nash and Shannon Wiper achieved excellent results of 41 and 42 respectively. Other well played results of 45 or less: Phil Humphries, Gerry van Deven 43’s; Arky and Tim Stevenson 44’s; Fred Michano 45. Dutchy continued his masterful golf in the 70-79y division by beating Chopper’s excellent 39. Three players who tied with terrific 42’s were Bill Ward,

Rick Thompson and Gus Brown. Al Matthews produced a solid 43. Mac Hyatt obtained the only nifty fifty of the day. We are looking in to having a scramble-barbecue with prizes in late September or early October. We believe we can do this in a very safe manner. Bummy, Wiz and Bobo will be finalizing details with our Club Manager, Jen Dawson, in the near future. Watch for updates! “Nobody asked how you looked.” “Just what you shot!“ — Sam Snead.

Erie Shores Thursday League has a month to go By Paul Bunnett-Jones With just a month to go in play, on a beautiful day for golf with less humidity and heat, it was a surprise to see overall gross scores in the Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores at their highest for the season. Not one player beat or matched par on the back 9 with Brian Humphreys, Greg Zimney and Matt Taouil all coming closest shooting one over par rounds of 37 to finish a stroke ahead of Wheaton Mouck, Kyle Humphreys, Derek Dimenna, Tim Tiessen and Kyle Kudroch who all tied with two over par 38’s. Also breaking 40 with three over par 39’s were Raoul Morin, Conor Chilvers and Ward Hutchins.

Badminton Club memories from 1972

By C. Scott Holland The sport of badminton has been around since Leamington’s early beginnings as a village and while it is not often covered, some dominating players have emerged from the Leamington Badminton Club. One of the best examples was in 1971-72 with the club’s “A” championships, which had several future stars for the club. The club’s president at the time was Ernie Jackiw, who was retiring with Doug Stephens becoming the new president. Jackiw’s hard work with the club was recognized, as Stephens gave Jackiw a parting gift on behalf of the group. The four “A” flight championships featured some good matches. In the Ladies singles, Doreen Bachmeier outlasted Jill Jackson, who in a few short years would dominate the category. In the men’s singles, another future star, Chris Frederick defeated Henry Kosempel, while in the men’s doubles, veteran member Prosser Moran teamed with Doug Stephens to beat the young duo of Chris Frederick and Gary Baker. In the ladies doubles, Jan Pearson and Mary Jane Barnet beat Linda Adams and Doreen Bachmeier.

Paul Bunnett-Jones led all players in the handicap division shooting a 6 under par net 30, while Kevin Kantati and Phil Cornies were just a stroke back with 5 under par net rounds of 31. Five golfers finishing tied at 4 under par net 32 included John Penner, Derrick Hutchins, Wayne Oehlerking, Joe Morin and Tim Leckie. A total of 7 skins were handed out with gross birdie winners going to Derek Dimenna with a 3 on the 12th hole, a 3 for Mike Harris on the 14th hole and another 3 for Tim Tiessen on the par 4 11th hole. In the handicapped skins, Paul Bunnett-Jones picked up a couple of net eagle skins with 2’s on both the 12th and 18th holes. Derek Horop had a double eagle net 2 on the 15th hole while Dave Dick had a net eagle 2 on the 17th hole. Derek Dimenna has jumped into the top spot overall with $105 in skins money while Derek Horop has dropped to second with $90. Neil Sawatzky is next with $75 and Ward Hutchins is in fourth with $71, while Hayden Hodgson sits in fifth at $67. Wayne Gil-

Triple black 1969 Pontiac GTO THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk David Mastronardi of Ruthven, Ontario, was born in 1971 and spent his early years in the middle of the muscle car era. He got his driver’s license behind the wheel of a Chevy Cavalier but dreamed of someday having a car with more get-up-and-go. The car he wanted from age 15 was a Pontiac GTO. That dream became reality in 2013 when he contacted a retired gentleman in Georgetown, Ontario, who had three Pontiac GTOs. He was willing to sell one because of health issues. It had come from South Carolina and needed work. He had sandblasted the frame and body panels but much more was needed. David bought it and trailered it home, then took a close look at it and said: “What have I done?” The car was in a thousand pieces and had no engine or transmission. Rather than tackle a project that could take forever to finish, David very wisely took the car and all its pieces to Mark DiMilo at Dimilo Auto Body on Oak Street West in Leamington. Mark had already rebuilt several classic cars of high quality and David knew his GTO was in good hands. By June 2015, Mark had finished the car to perfection and David began to enjoy his dream car. When new, the car had a Liberty Blue body, white convertible top, and parchment interior. When it rolled out of DiMilo’s shop, it was gleaming black on the body with a black convertible top and black interior. Cool! Under the hood when the car was new was a 350 cubic inch V8. Now it has a new LS3 crate motor with 376 cubic inches (6.2 litres) and 4-speed automatic transmission. David has driven it to many local shows until this year, when the pandemic cancelled them all. I asked him if he still drives the car and he said: “Every chance I get!” It’s the perfect solution to cabin fever and doesn’t pose any danger to anyone because David stays in the car till he gets back home. To David, we say: “Happy motoring for years to come!” I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca.
